Instead of setting both to the same dataset, set them to clones of the same dataset.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have two data boud combination boxes. They are both linked to the same binding source. I have a DataGridView linked to a different binding source.
My application is setup to select an element form the combox box relative to the data in the DGV. It simply matches the DGV Cell value with the combobox selected value to make the change.
The problem is I can't seperate the item selectted form both combo boxes. When ever an I select a row from the data grid veiw; although, the element ID is different for both combo boxes both combo boxes change to reflect the selected item. Code example below.
combBoxOne.SelectedValue = DataGridView.CurrentRow.Ce
combBoxTwo.SelectedValue = DataGridView.CurrentRow.Ce
This code above force both comboboxes to change at the same time, both showing the same selection.
My question is how can I foce the first combox box to show only cell 1 selection and the second combox to show cell 2 selection?

Also, If i select an Item from the first combo box the second combo box changes its selection to show the the same item as being selected.
